Do you have hard water, if you do then it may be that which is causing low to no suds. However if it's the sensitive skin formula, it's probably low sudsing anyway and then if you have hard water that makes the suds even less; not to mention sensitive formulas usually have less water softeners.

If you have hard water, you may want to see if you get a crap-ton of suds when you wash them in 1/4-1/2 cup of bleach without detergent, in hot water. They would sud like you added half of a container of detergent, if hard water has been your problem.

But, if your diapers are getting clean regardless of visible suds and you have no issues, then your wash routine is fine :)

Even though my research before starting CDing three months ago "taught" me everything in this thread and I did believe it all, I just got up the guts to skip my third rinse this last wash cycle (we use Tide and I was still seeing suds after the 2nd rinse, so did a 3rd.) Skipping it saves me an hour on my routine which I desperately need now that my maternity leave is up and I am back to working a full-time job with an hour long commute so I really want it to work, and am going to give it a fair shake before giving into the buildup fears again.

Just to be sure I "get it", as long as our diapers don't smell yucky and they absorb well, we are good without that rinse, yes?

The smell test is absolutely the best way to tell if your diapers are clean. Check during that final rinse for suds to insure that they are getting rinsed enough, but I think one rinse at the end is fine.

So if I use Rock-n-Green, am I just asking for trouble down the road? I've been using it since August (when I started CD). The only time I had a problem was when I realized I wasn't using enough water (originally I was just doing a rinse and econo/quick-wash in my HE machine, now I do a rinse, regular wash, rinse).

Since then I haven't had any issues, but should I finish up my Rock-n-Green and switch over to something else?
